Definitions

  • This invention relates to dry, powdered xerographic toners and developers comprising a blend of materials which combine to function at high operating speeds with long life.
  • Dry xerographic toners are conventionally a blend of resin or resins for body, coloring matter for imaging, charge influencing materials and, where desirable, minerals as extenders. Often such dry, powdered materials are coated on their surface with much smaller mineral powders, such as fumed silica, to promote flow.
  • a developer When the toner is combined with particles much larger than the toner particle, typically polymer coated beads, the combination is termed a developer, and the large particle is termed a carrier.
  • the resin body of the toner of this invention is a hybrid resin, and its incorporation in a toner is believed unique.
  • Product literature of the source of the specific resin used addresses generally that the hybrid balances charge problems associated with polyesters.
  • Known charge control agents are employed in the toner of this invention.
  • the toner of this invention employs powdered aluminum oxide, which, in itself, is not novel as illustrated by the following references: U.S. Patent Nos.
  • This invention employs a ferrite body with silicone coating.
  • Such carriers are generally conventional, as illustrated by the following references: U.S. Patent Nos. 5,204,204 to Shintani; 4,996,126 to Anno et al.; 4,977,054 to Honjo et al. and 4,598,034 to Honjo et al.
  • This invention was specifically formulated to function well with long life in the DCP-1 printer, which is a high speed, commercial quality product of Xeikon N.V. Some of the foregoing references are believed to result from activity to provide toner and developer for the same or generally the same printer.
  • the toner of this invention comprises a hybrid resin of polyester and polystyrene, with the polyester being the major material by weight. Additionally, the toner includes a charge control agent, which in the case of toner with color-subtractive pigments is a copolymer of styrene and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid, a known charge control agent. In the case of the black toner with carbon black the charge control agent is E-84, a product of Orient Chemical Corp. Additionally, the toners have fumed aluminum oxide blended in the resin.
  • the resulting toner functions very well at high speed. It is combined with a silicone coated ferrite carrier with the coating thickness being large enough to remain throughout the long life.
  • TUFTONE HYBRID HB-L4 is a hybrid resin.
  • a hybrid resin is one in which two separate polymers are made by thoroughly incorporating the reaction product from the first polymerization with the monomeric mixture for the second polymerization. The resulting hybrid resin has strands of the two polymers so mixed that the two resins are physically held together.
  • TUFTONE HYBRID HB-L4 is generally about 92 percent polyester and 8 percent styrene butylacrylate copolymer by weight.
  • the three rainbow color pigments are transparent and color-subtractive, so that they can be applied on one another to form a range of hues by subtraction, as is standard.
  • HOSTAPERM Blue B2G is copper phthalocyanine blue pigment (Colour Index Pigment Blue 15:3).
  • CHEMISPERSE Magenta 3238 is a beta naphthol-based magenta pigment.
  • Pigment Yellow GG is a standard diarylide yellow pigment (Colour Index Pigment Yellow 17).
  • the toner is processed as follows:
  • the carrier is a copper zinc ferrite with a volume average particle diameter of approximately 50 microns. It is coated with a silicon-based resin, specifically a copolymer of dimethylsiloxane and methylsilsesquioxane in approximately equal molar proportions.
  • Coating is to coat weight of 0.25% by weight, which is a coating thickness on the carrier particles of approximately 0.1 micron.
